Beautiful scenery and charming historical towns
Wonderful scenery and small towns full of charm and history. Guide Sole and driver Mario were great. Only downside was directing us to restaurant that was overpriced and charged a 15 percent fee for using a debit card. For the tour on the following day, we learned our lesson and ate at a different restaurant than the one the tour company directed us to.
